Brand New - The ChemBox

What is the ChemBox? ChemBox pairs ingredients and packaging samples to showcase the best of both to pre-qualified subscribers. A single ChemBox contains 10-12 ingredients and 4-6 packaging samples.
There are few alternative options for B2B product sampling – virtual trade show and mission are not effective. Stop relying on trends and marketing – get your samples physically into labs and companies! |
